This man of the people and self-declared champion of veterans is solidly on the side of the corporate interests! It is just coincidental that he holds oil company stocks and is personal friends with billionaire oil men. If this lasts until his inauguration, will he order the US military to attack the demonstrators and the vets?

2,000 veterans to give protesters a break at Standing Rock
If he ordered the veterans attacked by the paramilitary forces arrayed against them, Trump's supporters would howl with glee.

These people have no allegiance to anything other than dictatorial rule, and being as how they would never stand up to anyone or anything, they are in favor of using excessive force.

Liberals are such hypocrites, complaining about what Trump isn't doing before he's even in office when their president hasn't done anything for months.
Yes where is Trump, he had time to go to Indiana for a softball affair. I thought he was against government regulations and is pro-energy, he wants pipelines and energy indepence.


This might be the first time I have seen him at a loss for words, you can bet he hopes this get's resolved before he takes office.

If he tried that I'd like to think his new Sec Def would tell him to stick the order up his ***.

This had nothing to do with Trump. Obama is still the president. I'm glad the vets are helping these people.

This is great, and there will be even bigger blowback if the police attack veterans on the site. It will be an interesting winter...

They won't offer much resistance when the massive law enforcement effort begins in a few days.
These misguided tree-huggers will need a lot of lawyers to get them out of jail!

What's with the "veteran" tag? Does it give added meaning?

In what way. They'd have to be against the use of oil in order for this to be hypocritical. I didn't really see any of that. So, you either don't know what hypocritical means, said this without thinking, or I missed something really huge.
